crystal cluster

Geode's inner beauty

A crystal cluster is a formation of multiple crystals that have grown together from a shared base, their points radiating outward in different directions.

The term appears most often in mineralogy and the gemstone trade: a quartz crystal cluster, an amethyst cluster from Brazil.

Crystal clusters are popular as decorative objects and in alternative healing practices, where they're believed to amplify or disperse energy.
